Questions & Answers
Questions & Answers
What Dado Stack works with the Professional Cabinet Saw?
What Dado Stack works with the Professional Cabinet Saw?
SawStop manufacture a 203mm/8" Premium Dado Set, which you can find on our on our website. You can also use other brands of dado sets given it's an 8" standard-tooth steel stacked dado set (max width: 23mm or 29/32") with steel or carbide teeth. A zero-clearance insert for your dado set must also be purchased along with the required Dado Cartridge.
Do not use dado sets with solid-plate interior chippers or blades with molding heads. Sawstop recommend against using "wobble" dado sets as the brake cartridge is not designed to stop those blade types. Sawstop also do not recommend using blades with tooth "shoulders" (often called depth-limiting or anti-kickback shoulders), as these blades will take longer to stop in the event of an accident.
Additionally, Sawstop recommend only using dado sets wherein the interior chippers have between two and four teeth per chipper to limit the impact of the saw during activation.

The SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw, however, has been specifically engineered and CE-certified for use with an optional dado brake cartridge and dado insert. This, in combination with Sawstop's floating guard, allows you to use dado stacks safely and in compliance with European safety standards.

Can I use thin and thick kerf 250mm or 254mm/10" blades with a SawStop saw?
The SawStop safety system is designed for use with standard 250 or 254mm/10" blades with kerfs from 2.4 mm to 4.8 mm (or 3/32" to 3/16").
